The significant ZOI has seen against staphylococcus aureus (19±0.2) and Escheria coli (18±0.2). The formulated Herbal toothpaste were evaluated using different standard parameter to ensure their quality and physiochemical properties like, Organoleptic characterization, Composition, Homogeneity, pH, Spread ability, Extrudability, Determination of sharp and edge abrasive particles, Foaming power, Determination of fineness, Tube inertness. The result indicates that the formulated polyherbal tooth paste had colour-Greenish brown, smooth in nature, moderate foamability pH-7.5 which is suitable for oral health, extrudability-80.55%, Spreadability good, absence of Hard and sharp edge abrasive particle.
